You can't drive into it from the Ft Pickens side. You can drive somewhat to it from the Ft McRea side (Johnson Beach).
Deciding to anchor or not depends on the time of day and tide movement. On some days the anchor only slows you down. But one thing is certain its best fish when the water is moving. The cut South of the steel jetties will offer you some relief from the tide. But I wouldn't beach my boat there, too much boat traffic usually moving through.
As far as what to fish for and what with "throw it and they will come". During tide changes almost every species moves through the pass.
Good luck and tight lines.
